Seriously, what are people seeing in Biden to make him the frontrunner? Just that they know his name?

I don't think he's made a rational or coherent policy proposal yet.

What were those people shouting? As much as Biden isn't doing well, that knocked him off his game.

Moderators have done a horrid job in all debates. I love Maddow but she was awful as well. The live audience needs to go.

Ding.

Obv I want Amy K, but if it's down to the Big Three (Uncle Joe, Crazy Bernie, or Warren)? I'll take Warren any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

Nothing, he's skating by on name recognition amongst people who clearly aren't paying close attention to politics (which is a lot of people) many months out from Iowa.

Are you new here? Americans dont care about policy they elected Dubya twice and Trump.

At this point, it seems Joe may actually be hurting the Dems rather than helping. Especially as long as the MSM and the Pubbies are going to point out his senile gaffes, while largely ignoring Dump borderline drooling on himself on a weekly basis.

People are overstimating the impact of these debates. I'm old enough to recall two incumbent Presidents who had terrible debates in 1984 and 2012 against their challengers and it didn't seem to hurt any. While Bush I had a bad debate as well, he was already on his way out long before that night, which he himself seemed to realize if his listless performance was any indication.

Right now in such a large field its primed for the 2%'ers to swing for the fences, and the press to start pimping them in order to generate new headlines. Booker will be President about the same time Yang will be, which is never. Although Yang supporters now have the coolest nickname ("Yangbangers") and their devotion to him makes Berners (previously the best nickname) look like level headed realists. :D

I'd like them to cull the herd a little bit for these debates. Eitther top 3 or top 5.

Policy was the wrong word. I should have just said his answers in general. They were incoherent, shambling, disconnected, all over the place. A less frantic version of Dimwit Donnie.

Even Obama wouldn’t endorse him lol. Which is hilarious because he tries to take credit for all his accomplishments while dodging every tough question about the valid critiques of that admin (mass deportation).

That's not an indicator. Obama is the de facto head of the party and probably will be for life. He's an institution now. I predict he won't endorse until the nomination is secured.

Yeah well Dimwit Donnie is Prez so it works.

If the issues mattered he would be getting killed. They dont sadly. To many people it looks like they are all being mean to the nice old man. Cant have that!

It depends...I think he will wait but will endorse someone when it still matters. I dont think it will be Joe though.
